As part of his teacher training for drama, he decided to start an educational project: drama workshops with prisoners. He ventured into a Shakespeare classic; Macbeth. A piece of theater history with murder, ambition, spirituality and fate as the main ingredients. Challenging and daring themes to work on within the prison walls.

Andy worked with an enthusiastic group of prisoners. Everyone was welcome and could sign up for the course. For 12 weeks he tried to hold a 2-hour session every week. In terms of composition, this group changed continuously. “Sometimes 8 detainees came, another 5 and sometimes someone I hadn’t seen in weeks. This was really flexible, “explains Andy.
